If you recognize some spells from other stories like Heir of the Dark Lord it is because I have taken them from the stories. Hope the authors don't mind.
Chapter 23Attacks and Presents
Still in Flashback from Last Chapter
Harry awoke the day after the Ministry ball, with his head hurting. 'Too many hangovers!' he thought, wincing from the pain. He shook his head and saw that next to him was one of the people he never expected to be there. Narcissa Malfoy, Draco Malfoy's mom, was laying next to him, naked! Harry scrambled out of bed quickly and searched for his clothes. He got dressed and disappeared with a barely audible 'crack'
"Crap" Harry muttered. He walked to the staircase of Grimmauld Place.
"Harry Potter where were you?" Sirius asked, stepping out of the kitchen. Harry stopped, half way up the staircase.
"Out" Harry replied.
"You had us all worried. You couldn't tell us where you were going?" Sirius questioned.
"Drunk" Harry said, grabbing his head.
"You were drunk! Who knows what could of happened to you!" Sirius said in a fatherly tone.
"Sex" Harry muttered.
"Who?" Sirius demanded.
"You won't like who" Harry stated.
"Who?" Sirius demanded again.
"Your cousin, Narcissa" Harry said. He continued walking up the staircase until he got to the floor where his room was.
"What?!?!" he heard Sirius yell. Harry went into his room and fell onto his bed. He drifted off to sleep again.
He was awoken by a heavy weight sitting down on his bed. He opened his eyes warily and so Ron at the edge. "Hey Ron" Harry said, tiredly.
Ron was grinning at him. "What?" Harry asked confused.
"Draco's mom Harry?" Ron asked, amusement in hi voice. "Oh man this is classic. These are the kinds of things that only happen to you Harry" Ron laughed, before getting up and leaving.
Harry's stomach grumbled, so he guessed he might as well get up. Stretching his limbs and failing to suppress a yawn, Harry stumbled out of his room. Down the stairs and into the kitchen Harry went. Pushing open the door, Harry picked a seat and sat down. A plate full of food was pushed in front of him.

Imagine his embarrassment when he learned everyone knew of his affair with Mrs. Malfoy. That was almost embarrassing as 'The Talk' with Sirius and Remus. Although it would be funny to see Malfoy's reaction. Harry would pay to see that and he was sure Ron would too.

Harry just listened to the others talk while he ate his breakfast. He noticed his hair was still red and gold and Ginny was staring at him. Feeling freaked out, Harry finished his breakfast and left the table. He walked to his room and started doing some exercises that kept his body in shape.
Harry thought back to his last couple of weeks at Hogwarts while doing sit ups. He had been working on a cure for Neville's parents in his spare time, which wasn't that often. He was mostly learning new spells and battle tactics. He was also practicing for Quidditch, teaching Hermione, Ron and Neville Occlumency, teaching the D.A., going over battle plans and dueling with the Order of Lightning, going to Order of the Phoenix meetings, homework, keeping in shape, attending classes, and playing pranks. That was a lot to do and he barely got any sleep at night. Harry shook his head and focused on what he was doing.
While he was pushing his body up, during a pushup, when his scar seared with pain. He collapsed to the ground, unbelievable pain seared across his forehead. He bit his lip to keep from screaming and a warm, coppery liquid filled his mouth.
After what seemed like an eternity but was really only 10 minutes the pain subsided. He spit the blood from his mouth and wiped his bottom lip. Harry quickly got up and ran to his room. He took his wand and touched the Order of Lightning symbol on his palm. It glowed gold for a second and then went back to normal. After waiting for several seconds Ron, Hermione and Ginny appeared in front of him. Soon the rest of the members appeared in his room.
"Nice room Harry" Dean said, looking around.
"There is going to be an attack on Diagon Alley" he said frantically. Everyone looked at him. "They're sending in Dementors. If we don't do anything, hundreds of people will be kissed"
"What are we going to do?" Ron asked.
Harry stared at him. "Oh I don't know maybe get some ice cream and check out the newest broom model. What do you think we're going to do?" Harry asked him. "Now I taught you how to cast a Patronus, but not all of you mastered it. Plus none of you have ever tried to cast it while a Dementor is there so I don't know how you will perform"
"We are going to Diagon Alley and getting ready. They will be coming from Knockturn Alley so we are going to set some traps" Harry explained.
"Traps?" Neville asked.
"Booby traps. A hidden.." Harry tried to explain. "It's a muggle thing." he picked up one of the t-shirts he still had from the Dursleys. "Portus" he said. The shirt glowed blue. "Ginny and Luna, I want you guys to get the Ministry and the Order. Tell them about the attack 20 minutes after we leave. That should give us enough time to set up some traps and get into position"
"But I wanna fight too!" Ginny said.
"Sorry Ginny. If you guys want, you can come when you tell them alright?" They both nodded their heads. Everyone pulled on the dueling robes they were given. The symbol of the Order was on the back. They all pulled the hoods up, so their faces were hidden. "Activio" Harry muttered. 23 out of 25 of the members of the Order of Lightning disappeared from the room, only to appear seconds later in the middle of Gringotts.
"Alright, everyone spread out and help the owner of the shops get their supplies packed up and ready for transport at a minutes notice. I'll set up the traps by Knockturn Alley. Make sure someone goes to the Leaky Cauldron." Harry told his Order. They all ran out of Gringotts following his commend. Harry turned to the Goblins. "An attack will happen in the Alley. Will you fight for Gringotts?"
"Yes" they replied. The people in the bank were looking at him with wide eyes.
"Well get the hell out of here unless you're feeling brave" Harry yelled. Everyone scrambled to the fireplaces along the far wall. "Wankers" Harry muttered. He stepped out of the white building and into the streets. "Sonorous" Harry said as he pointed his wand at his throat. "Will everyone with children please evacuate the Alley" Harry yelled.
"And who the hell are you?" someone shouted.
"I'm the bloody boy who lived!" Harry yelled.
"It is! It's Harry Potter!" People started to rush towards him, asking for autographs.
"You people don't understand! Voldemort is attacking the Alley soon!" Harry yelled. His voice was drowned out by the crowd of people. Becoming frustrated, Harry let out a heavy breath. A small gust of wind pushed the people a few feet away from Harry. Everyone became quiet and looked at their savior. "Voldemort is going to be attacking the Alley. Now you people should get the hell out of here, unless you wanna stay and fight"
A loud scream of panic arose from the crowd as they frantically scrambled to the fireplaces. Many 'pops' and 'cracks' could be heard as those who knew how to Apparate and those without children Apparated out of there. Only around 20 witches and wizards stayed behind to fight. Harry directed them into a store and told them they would know when to come out.
Harry quickly ran to where the two Alleys meet. Making sure he stayed out of view from the darker alley, incase they had a scout there, Harry set to work.
He made several holes that he camouflaged up. The floor would be similar to a hologram and when someone stepped on it they would fall threw. Then the "hologram" would become solid, leaving that person trapped inside a magically sealed hole. The person wold have oxygen so they could survive. Only if someone did the Counter curse would the people be released from their underground prisons. He tied an invisible rope from one lamppost on one side of the alley to a lamppost on the other side.
Harry ran to where the Order was gathering. "Well?" Harry asked.
"The main stores like Olivanders, Flourish and Botts, and Magical Menageries have all been packed up and ready to be transported at a minutes notice. Several of the smaller shops have refused to leave though." Hermione reported.
"Alright. Everyone, for most of you this will be your first battle. If you don't think you can handle it then leave now. No one will think less of you." Everyone stayed in their spots. "Alright. Spread out and find some good cover. Don't do anything until I do something" Everyone spread out. Some going in shops, others hiding behind crates and barrels. Harry levitated himslef up and sat himself on the thick Flourish and Botts sign that hung above the door.
Movement came from the intersection of Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley. Black cloaked creatures, floated out of Knockturn Alley. They spilled into the deserted streets of Diagon Alley. They came closer to Harry's position.
"Expecto Partonum!" Harry yelled. A humongous silver stag erupted from his wand and charged at the floating black cloaked creatures. Several more yells of "Expecto Partonum" could be heard as more silver animals joined the stag.
The silver animals pushed most of the Dementors into Knockturn Alley. Several were pushed into a dead end back street by Prongs. High pitched screams filled the air as black smoke was seen coming out of the back street. Soon Prongs came cantering out, head held high. The patronus's stayed in front of the Alley entrance for a couple more seconds before fading out.
"Curious" Harry said thinking of what he heard and saw coming from the back street. However he had no time to ponder over it because a sharp pain in his scar told him that Voldemort was coming.
Voldemort was leading his Death Eaters out of the dark alley. Fortunately Harry had one of the biggest laughs of his life right then. It seemed Voldemort stepped o one of Harry's traps. He disappeared from view, confusing his Death Eaters. Harry let out a loud, joyful laugh.
The Death Eaters continued forward with several more disappearing from view. Suddenly many of them tripped on something. They fell to the ground and Harry laughed loudly again. He jumped down off of the sign and landed gracefully in a crouch.
He stood up and face the Death Eaters. He gave them a warm smile and a cheery wave. "Hello chaps. What brings you here today?" he asked.
"Avada Kedavra" one yelled. Harry stepped out of the way.
"Incarcerous" Harry said. Ropes wrapped around the Death Eater. "Respect my authority" Harry said. "Lebens saver oro" he cried out. The gold shield surrounded him just in time as many beams of light collided with it.
His shield dispersed and Harry took several steps backwards, while firing off stunners. He heard many yells, as the Death Eaters were attacked from all sides. It seemed the people in the store thought it was the perfect time to attack because they did.
Several 'pops' could be heard as the Aurors arrived. Soon more 'pops' were heard as Death Eater reinforcements arrived. Harry made a X movement with his right arm and a white x appeared in mid air. Harry pushed the center of the X with his wand and it soared forward into the Death Eaters. The ones that were unfortunately enough to be in its way were all knocked unconscious. It was a nifty spell Harry created during the holidays when he was bored.
Harry saw a group of his Order dive inside a store as their cover was blown to pieces. He saw what looked like Fred and George dragging off a bleeding order member and another quickly limping into a small alley. The Death Eaters were gaining the upper hand and they knew it.
Harry ran to where he saw an Order of Lightning member crouched behind a crate. "Run to Gringotts and call the others threw the symbol, alright?" Harry asked. The person nodded and quickly sprinted to the white building. Harry pointed his wand at his throat and muttered "Sonorous." He cleared his throat. "Anser the call!" Harry yelled. He took the charm off his throat and shook his head.
Harry stood up "Seprensortia" he said. A large, black snake slithered from his wand. "Attack only thossse in black robesss and white masssk" he hissed to it. The snake slithered to the group of Death Eaters. Harry saw his Order disappear one by one.
He looked at the wizards and witches who chose to stay. "Retreat to Gringotts" he yelled at them. They all nodded before running to the bank, carrying the fallen. He looked at the Aurors. "Hello. Get to Gringotts, it is where your allies are!" Harry yelled at them.
The one which appeared to be in the lead nodded his head before yelling "Retreat!" the Aurors all ran down the Alley, with the ones in the back firing curses over their shoulders.
A explosion could be heard from the intersection fo Diagon and Knockturn Alley. It appeared Voldemort got out of the trap. He was marching forward angrily. "Hope you like the present Potter!" he yelled. He pointed his wand at several stores and they all exploded. Rubble littered the street.
"You could of gotten me something better." Harry yelled. Voldemort turned to him. "Hello Tom" Harry called out.
"Potter" Voldemort hissed. "Take care of the others. Potter is mine" He raised his wand and made a slashing movement. Harry avoided the purple flames as it shot at him. He flicked his wrist and orange light flew at Voldemort. The Dark Lord batted the spell away with his wand. Harry made a circle in air and threw the lasso at Voldemort. It landed around his neck and Harry pulled the rope tight. However the rope turned into a giant snake that slithered towards Harry.
Red light struck the snake and it disappeared. Harry made the X motion quickly and shot it at Voldemort. Tom stepped out of the way and the X collided with the wall.
Harry, took a deep breath as he dodged the green light. Both him and Voldemort were using silent magic. Besides the most complicating and powerful spells like the Unforgivables, most spells could be cast silently but it needed a lot of concentration. It was also very draining, so Harry made sure he tested his endurance level every day.
He felt an Anti-Apparation being cast around the whole alley. Now none would be able to escape, but none would be able to come in.
Harry sent several jets of teal light. Tom conjured a shield and all of the spells were absorbed by it. A wave of blue light crashed into the shield and it disappeared. "Kugelzauberei" Harry said. The small ray of silver light streamed at Voldemort. He ducked and a small crater was blasted in the wall. Ropes shot out of Harry's wand but disappeared with a wave of the Dark Lords wand.
The green eyed wizard sent out a barrage of bight lights. Voldemort was able to dodge most of them, the ones he couldn't were blocked by shields.
Several yells could be heard coming from Gringotts. It seemed the Death Eaters had managed to break in but the Order of the Phoenix arrived by the Leaky Cauldron. It seemed they didn't notice the duel between the boy-who-lived and the Dark Lord.
Feeling himself getting tired Harry started to say the incantations. "Diffindo, Furnunculus, Immobulus, Incarcerous, Stupefy, Bussato Fuori, Volare Indietro, Potente Multiplo Stupefy, Sono, Dor Braccio, Stupefy, Expelliarmus !" Harry shouted spell after spell.
He stepped to the right as a green light flashed where he just was. He conjured a table, that intercepted the other green light. He ducked the black lasso as it flew over his head and erected the Golden Potter Shield in time. A series of Brown, green and black lights slammed into it forcing it to disperse.
Harry started firing off stunners while doing a no handed cartwheel.(he is so acrobatic! Kind of like a matrix seen) He landed clumsily on his feet and stumbled sideways.
"Harry!" he heard a voice shout. He saw Dumbledore come running at him from the corner of his eye.
"Stay out of this Dumbledore. This is between me and Voldemort" Harry banished a barrel into the path of a ray of green light. Newt eyes rolled fell to the ground as the barrel exploded. Harry said "Kugelzauberei" Voldemort threw a shield up. Knowing he would do this Harry waved his left hand and the shield started to fill with water.
The shield vanished. "Electrify" Harry said quickly, before it all washed away. Voldemort howled in pain as he was electrocuted.
The next thing Harry knew he was blown backwards into a wall. He felt several bones crack as he fell to the ground. Harry rolled to his left in order to avoid the green light. He quickly and clumsily got to his feet. He stumbled over to Dumbledore, conjuring items and shields to block the spells flying at him.
"I think the battle is lost Dumbledore" Harry coughed, spitting up blood. "We should retreat." Dumbledore nodded and helped Harry to Gringotts, as quickly as possible. When they reached it they saw the entrance was crowded with Death Eaters.
Harry made the X in the air and propelled it forward. Many Death Eaters fell to it. Especially since none knew how to defend against it. Harry withdrew his second wand. He jogged threw the split in the Death Eaters, sending of stunners with both his wands. When he reached the other side he searched out the goblins. "We won't win his battle. Is there anyway for us to escape threw the tunnels in Gringotts?" Harry asked.
"Yes there are several vaults that have opening somewhere else." A goblin explained.
"Like the Potter vault?" Harry asked.
"Yes the Potter Vault has another opening at Potter Manor. Since the tunnels are so confusing to navigate threw without a cart or goblin we don't have to worry about intruders from there."
"Good. Is there anyway we can seal the tunnels?" Harry asked.
"Yes. There is special magic around them that will allow the entrance to the tunnel to be sealed"
"Good. Start moving the wounded and dead into the carts and bring them to the Potter Vault"
"Only a Potter can open the vault" the goblin explained.
"How big is the platform outside of it?" Harry asked.
"Not to big sir."
"Alright. Load the cart with the wounded, I'll be there in a moment."
"Dumbledore" Harry called. He saw Dumbledore dueling with a Death Eater. "We are going to be retreating to the Potter Manor from the Potter vault down below" Dumbledore nodded.
Harry heard many screams as Voldemort entered the building. Harry hoped in the cart. He saw at least 30 carts there, holding at least 8 people. 10 of them were fully packed with wounded Aurors, both Order members and those who chose to stay behind. Harry stumbled into the lead one and the ten carts took off. It seemed like an hour before they finally reached the vault but in reality it was only 5. The number 6 was above the door. Harry went over to the door and touched it. It opened under his touch, and the wounded were lead inside. Harry raced back to one of the carts. All 10 carts started upwards again. They took another track upwards, so as not to collide with the other carts.
When Harry reached the top he immediately jumped out and shuffled to the door. All the other carts were gone and mostly goblins and Aurors were on the platform. Harry opened the door and saw Dumbledore dueling with Voldemort. The Order of Phoenix members were holding the Death Eaters off that were trying to come in and his Order members, there hoods still up, were fighting the ones that were already inside. "Dumbledore bring them back!" Harry yelled.
"Order of Phoenix retreat!" the Order members backed up slowly, making sure to pick up their fallen comrades. Harry raced in front of them and cast the Golden Potter Shield Spell, giving them some protection as they ran. When the shield vanished Harry yelled "Reducto! Reducto!" the spells hit the marble above the doorway. Chunks of Marble fell to the ground, as Death Eaters scrambled to get out of the way. Most jumped backwards, some dived forwards and a few got crushed.
Harry sent out several "Potente Multiplo Stupefy" into the mass of black robes by the entrance. He walked back to where his order was. "Retreat to the room. Once everyone is inside they are sealing the door!" Harry told them. They all quickly scrambled into the door which stood several feet behind them. Dumbledore cast the Blinding Light Charm because many Death Eaters were rubbing their eyes and Voldemort was blinking repeatedly from within his shield.
The two powerful light wizards both raced as fast as they could(which wasn't very fast considering one was really old and the other head some broken bones) and shut the door behind them.
The goblins started chanted. Several loud bangs could be heard coming from the other side of the door. Soon a deafening squelching noise could be heard as the door glowed black. The glow soon died out.
"Good" Dumledore said "Now I want several Aurors and if you could spare it Goblins on watch at this door every minute. We will help build another Gringotts somewhere else. We just need another entrance to the tunnels" Dumbledore explained.
Several Aurors volunteered to stay behind and several goblins were ordered to. Everyone else hopped into the 30 carts, since the other 20 had arrived earlier. Everyone hoped into a cart and they were on their way to the Potter Family Vault.
They reached the platform and piled out of the carts. Harry raced threw and quickly seeked out his wounded members. He rest of the order of Lightning who could walk followed. They all still had their hoods up and a group of healers were around them.
"They won't let us get close enough to help them!" one cried out in exasperation.
"Do not worry I will take them somewhere and heal them myself." Harry and those standing approached the wounded ones.
"Harry we need to get two of us medical attention quickly. Get us to a private room now!" one of them snapped.
Harry conjured stretchers and the wounded were levitated onto them. Walking quickly they reached an empty room. Locking the door and casting a privacy charm, the members pulled off their cloaks. Harry waved his wand and several comfy mattresses appeared. He placed the wounded and critically injured down on these mattresses. Then he conjured some cots for the rest of them.
Oliver, Katie, Cassandra, Ernie, Parvarti and Anthony were all wounded. Hannah and Fred were in critical condition. Harry snapped his fingers and a house elf appeared. "I want some Blood Replenishing Potion, Sleeping Potion, Broken Bone Fixer Potion and Energy Restoration Potion" Harry told the elf. It nodded its head before setting of to fulfill her masters request.
Hermione and Ginny, the two best at healing, went to work on Fred and Hannah. Harry walked over and started helping Padma with the others. The others weren't that good at healing. Harry could do some of the advanced stuff, the same with Padma. Ginny, Hannah and Hermione learned the stuff, easily enough. The others only knew the basics of this form of magic.
When they finished on the wounded, Harry tended to himself. He drank the Broken Bone Fixer Potion and winced as the potion flooded his insides.
"What about the shops?" Harry asked.
"Most of the shop owners got their supplies and merchandise out of their. Several, who didn't listen to us, were not ale to get their stock but the owners got out safely enough. The two most important things are out" (Wands and books)
"Alright. Ron, Blaise and Dean you guys are coming with me tonight. We are going back to Diagon Alley. Under the cover of darkness, with some help from the Disillusion Charm, we will sneak in, release those form my traps and take any other prisoners we can." The three nodded their heads. "Try to get some rest" He picked those threes because they were the best at stealth. Harry lay downed on a cot. He closed his eyes and after a while drifted off into the land of dreams.
He awoke with a start. Ron was standing over him. "It's 10 o'clock at night Harry" he said. Harry nodded his head and got up. He still felt a twinge of pain in his ribs and back but he would live.
"How are Hannah and Fred?" he asked.
"Both doing fine" Ron assured him.
Harry smiled at Ron before casting the Disillusion Charm on him. He did the same for Dean and Blaise. Then Ron casted it on him.
"You ready?" he asked. He picked shrunk a trunk Hermione picked up in the trunk store while telling them about the attack. It had three nice big compartments. Big enough for a bunch of unconscious men. He silently opened the door after getting a nod from them. They quickly but silently made there way out of the manor and onto the grounds. They opened the gate and made their way outside and each took hold of the portkey.
They felt the familiar tug around their naval, and stumbled as they landed back on solid ground. They slowly made their way to the Leaky Cauldron. Harry saw several Death Eaters inside. He looked at Ron.
"Rook, transform and sneak in. Try to take them out quietly" Ron nodded and hwere he was standing a chameleon was. Harry saw it scurry under the door. After waiting several minutes the door opened and Ron was there. Harry saw the Death Eaters piled in a corner. He pulled out the shrunken trunk and restored it to it's normal size. Harry levitated them all into one of the compartments. He shrunk the trunk again and placed it back in his pocket. The outside of the trunk shrunk but the inside stayed the same.
They reached the brick wall and stopped.
"You think anyone is guarding it Raven?" Blaise asked.
"No clue Freezer" Harry replied. "We'll check just in case" Harry cast an X-ray Charm on the wall. A Death Eater as sitting in front of the entrance but he appeared to be asleep. Harry took the spell off and tapped the appropriate brick. The wall opened and the Death Eater fell backwards. He was stunned before he could do anything however. Harry took out the trunk, unshrunk it, tossed the guy in, shrunk the trunk again and placed it in his pocket. They walked down the street making sure to stay out of the Death Eaters ways. Many of the stores were destroyed. Rubble and glass lay everywhere. The roof of Olivanders was on the ground. Harry reached the intersection where the traps were.
He cast the counter curse on where he thought one was. It opened up and they all sent stunners inside. They levitate the man out and into the 2nd compartment of the trunk. They quickly did the counter curse on the rest of the traps and moved the Death Eaters into the 2nd compartment. They shrunk the trunk back up and placed it in Harry's pocket.
"Let's go see if they have any prisoners from the battle." Harry told them. They tip toed over to the bank. Since their was little light they barely saw the four guards standing in font of the dors. It appeared they removed the rubble from Harry's Reducter Curses.
Harry snuck to the side, he quickly grabbed the guard, who was standing by himself a good six feet from the others, from behind. His left hand was clamped over the guys mouth as his right hand held his wand to his head. Harry lead the guy farther into the shadows. "Peelsotog" he whispered. The man went limp in his arms and he carried him over to the others. He plopped the guy in the trunk. Him, Ron and Dean each went over and grabbed the other guards. Whispering the Sleeping Charm they also dropped the three guys into the trunk.
They walked into the bank and looked around. Several wizards were sitting in a group as Death Eaters had their wands pointed at them. "The prisoners!" Dean muttered.
"We can see that Knight" Blaise muttered back. "How are we going to rescue them Raven?" she asked.
"I'll conjure some distractions. You guys go over and get them into the trunk. If any refuse to cooperate, then stun them" Harry said. He quickly found pieces of rubble and Transfigured them into monkeys. They started to run around causing chaos. All Death Eater attention was focused on the monkeys now. Noone noticed the trunk appear out of thin air. Noone noticed their prisoners climbing into the trunk.
That is until a Death Eater looked over his shoulder. "The prisoners are escaping!" he yelled.
Harry cursed his luck and quickly cast a silencing charm over the entire room and hoped noone outside heard that.
He sent several stunners at the Death Eaters. A jet of water hit him and someone cried out. "Look there he is! Covered in water!" Harry cursed his luck again.
The prisoners were all packed inside because the trunk and noone was no longer visible. Harry dried himself off with a wave of his wand and raced out of the bank. "Rook, Freezer, Knight let's go!" he yelled. He dodged a group of Death Eaters who were running to the bank. He raced to the brick wall. It opened up and several Death Eaters were looking at it suspiciously from the small alleyway.
"Stupefy! Stupefy! Stupefy! Stupefy! Stupefy!" Harry said in quick succession. The five Death Eaters fell to the ground unconscious.
"Nice work Raven" he heard Ron mutter from behind him.
"Rook, are Knight and Freezer there?" he asked.
"Yeah, we're here Raven" Blaise answered.
"Alright let us leave then" Harry commanded. He looked to his left and saw Ron standing there. "It appears the Disillusion Charm has worn off." Harry told them.
The others looked around and saw that Harry was right and the charm was no longer working.
"Then speed this up" Freezer snapped. They slowly opened the door and entered the pub. No Death Eaters were in it so they sprinted across the pub to the door that led to Muggle London.
Harry pulled the door open and shut it immediately. They marched back to the alley they arrived in. He pulled out the portkey from earlier and muttered "Portus" They grabbed hold of it and were pulled away from the alley to the front gates of Potter Manor.
Harry pushed them open and marched up to the mansion. He opened the door that led to the basement, where the dueling chambers and the potions lab was. He walked to a concealed door and opened it up. Harry and the three others walked down the flight of stairs. They were in the dungeon. There were 30, 8 feet by 8 feet cells, 15 on each side of the room. In every cell there was a soft, lumpy mattress on one side and a small makeshift toilet in the corner. The walls and doors of the cell permitted magic to enter the cell but not to leave it.
Ron pulled out the trunk, "Engorgio" he said. The trunk grew to its regular size.
Harry opened the first compartment. Nine unconscious Death Eaters laid at the bottom of it. They levitated them out and placed them in separate cells. Harry opened the second compartment and found twelve Death Eaters and several of the rescued prisoners. They helped the prisoners out and told them to wait there. Then Harry levitated the twelve Death Eaters into separate cells. He collected all the Death Eaters wands and placed them in his pocket.
He picked up the trunk and told everyone in the room, Order members and rescued prisoners to follow him. He led them out of the dungeons, past the basement and up to the main floor. He walked up to the map of the house by the entrance hall. He taped the map and said "Reveal" Many dots appeared on the map, labeled by name.
It was a cool feature he found out about the map from his aunt. There were 10 maps throughout the house and all did the same thing. This is where his father got the idea for the Marauder's Map.
He searched for the name of any high ranking Order of the Phoenix members. It seemed all the professors went back to school. His Order members were still sleeping in his room. Healers and the wounded were still in the diningroom. It appeared the Aurors went back to the ministry and some of the civilians who stayed behind went home.
He found Remus Lupin and Sirius Black in the study. He tapped the map and said "Everything Revealed" Harry walked to the study, with the others following him. He pushed open the door, and the two Marauders looked up in surprise.
"Get Dumbledore and Mr. Weasly here" Harry said. "I know you know how to. I figured out that most Order members have a way to contact each other."
Sirius pulled small mirror. "Albus Dumbledore" he said. Seconds later Dumbledore's face appeared in the mirror. "Harry wants you to come to the manor. We are in the study"
"This better be quick. I still have to go over the casualties and prisoners of this battle" Dumbledore explained.
Dumbledore's face disappeared. "Arthur Weasly" Mr. Weasly's face appeared in the mirror.
"Arthur if you could come to the Potter Manor. Harry needs to speak with you" Sirius said.
"Alright Sirius. I can get a couple of minutes free. So we gotta make this quick" Arthur sighed.
"Alright" Sirius put the mirror back in his pocket.
He looked curiously at Ron, Dean and Blaise who all had there hoods up still. Remus was observing the seven people who were standing off to the side.
After a minute or two Dumbledore and Mr. Weasly both stepped into the room.
"Alright Harry, what do you need to talk to us about" Dumbledore asked.
Harry opened the trunk and helped the 19 people inside out. He was surprised to see him helping Tonks out of there, along with Charlie Weasly.
"I got you the prisoners" Harry stated.
"How?" Sirius asked shocked.
"Well me and my companions" Here Harry motioned to Ron, Blaise and Dean. "Snuck into the alley. We were able to get the prisoners into here and get out of there before much happened" Harry said.
"This is amazing!" Mr. Weasly exclaimed. "Now we don't have to worry about sending in a team to retrieve them!" He ran over to Charlie and pulled him into a hug. "So glad your safe son. Your mom was near hysterics"

They moved all the stores to Hogsmeade. Diagon Alley and the Leaky Cauldron were lost to the Light Side. They managed to make a tunnel that lead to the tunnels under London, ten feet into the Forbidden Forest. It took ten minutes just to get to the tunnels but it was good enough.
Several more families who lived in Diagon Alley, moved to Potter Manor. The rest built homes in Hogsmeade.
3 Aurors, 6 civilians who stayed and fought and 13 goblins died during the battle. 29 civilians who were in the wrong place at the wrong time die. One Order of the Phoenix member lost his arm from the elbow down. A civilian lost his right thumb and pointer finger.
Now there was a militia. It was started by a woman who fought in the Diagon Alley battle. Many witches and wizards flocked to it. They were trained once a week by a group of Aurors. Against the Death Eaters they wouldn't last unless they had help or luck but they were steadily improving.
Harry laid there in bed. His bruises still ached from the Battle of Hogwarts. Katie's back was pressed up against his side. He could hear her soft steady breath against the silent night air.(Remember Harry is remembering this after him and Katie have sex after the Battle of Hogwarts)
He kissed the top of her head and remembered the months after the attack on Diagon Alley. Including when him and Ginny went out. He couldn't believe Ginny was sill mad at him. In fact she shouldn't be mad at all, he was the one who should still be pissed.
I read Harry Potter: the Future Remapped and I loved the battle seen. That is where I got the water in the shield and then electrocute thing from.
I hope you Ginny lovers won't get mad at me for what I have in plan for her. For me it doesn't really matter what people do with Ginny. I like a good Harry/Ginny fic as much as the next person but I also don't care if people make her out to be bad. Just so you know this is not going to be a Harry/Ginny story. This is a Harry/many girls story but when I end this I have several choices of who Harry is going to end up with.
Chapter 23Attacks and Presents
Still in Flashback from Last Chapter
Harry awoke the day after the Ministry ball, with his head hurting. 'Too many hangovers!' he thought, wincing from the pain. He shook his head and saw that next to him was one of the people he never expected to be there. Narcissa Malfoy, Draco Malfoy's mom, was laying next to him, naked! Harry scrambled out of bed quickly and searched for his clothes. He got dressed and disappeared with a barely audible 'crack'
"Crap" Harry muttered. He walked to the staircase of Grimmauld Place.
"Harry Potter where were you?" Sirius asked, stepping out of the kitchen. Harry stopped, half way up the staircase.
"Out" Harry replied.
"You had us all worried. You couldn't tell us where you were going?" Sirius questioned.
"Drunk" Harry said, grabbing his head.
"You were drunk! Who knows what could of happened to you!" Sirius said in a fatherly tone.
"Sex" Harry muttered.
"Who?" Sirius demanded.
"You won't like who" Harry stated.
"Who?" Sirius demanded again.
"Your cousin, Narcissa" Harry said. He continued walking up the staircase until he got to the floor where his room was.
"What?!?!" he heard Sirius yell. Harry went into his room and fell onto his bed. He drifted off to sleep again.
He was awoken by a heavy weight sitting down on his bed. He opened his eyes warily and so Ron at the edge. "Hey Ron" Harry said, tiredly.
Ron was grinning at him. "What?" Harry asked confused.
"Draco's mom Harry?" Ron asked, amusement in hi voice. "Oh man this is classic. These are the kinds of things that only happen to you Harry" Ron laughed, before getting up and leaving.
Harry's stomach grumbled, so he guessed he might as well get up. Stretching his limbs and failing to suppress a yawn, Harry stumbled out of his room. Down the stairs and into the kitchen Harry went. Pushing open the door, Harry picked a seat and sat down. A plate full of food was pushed in front of him.

Imagine his embarrassment when he learned everyone knew of his affair with Mrs. Malfoy. That was almost embarrassing as 'The Talk' with Sirius and Remus. Although it would be funny to see Malfoy's reaction. Harry would pay to see that and he was sure Ron would too.

Harry just listened to the others talk while he ate his breakfast. He noticed his hair was still red and gold and Ginny was staring at him. Feeling freaked out, Harry finished his breakfast and left the table. He walked to his room and started doing some exercises that kept his body in shape.
Harry thought back to his last couple of weeks at Hogwarts while doing sit ups. He had been working on a cure for Neville's parents in his spare time, which wasn't that often. He was mostly learning new spells and battle tactics. He was also practicing for Quidditch, teaching Hermione, Ron and Neville Occlumency, teaching the D.A., going over battle plans and dueling with the Order of Lightning, going to Order of the Phoenix meetings, homework, keeping in shape, attending classes, and playing pranks. That was a lot to do and he barely got any sleep at night. Harry shook his head and focused on what he was doing.
While he was pushing his body up, during a pushup, when his scar seared with pain. He collapsed to the ground, unbelievable pain seared across his forehead. He bit his lip to keep from screaming and a warm, coppery liquid filled his mouth.
After what seemed like an eternity but was really only 10 minutes the pain subsided. He spit the blood from his mouth and wiped his bottom lip. Harry quickly got up and ran to his room. He took his wand and touched the Order of Lightning symbol on his palm. It glowed gold for a second and then went back to normal. After waiting for several seconds Ron, Hermione and Ginny appeared in front of him. Soon the rest of the members appeared in his room.
"Nice room Harry" Dean said, looking around.
"There is going to be an attack on Diagon Alley" he said frantically. Everyone looked at him. "They're sending in Dementors. If we don't do anything, hundreds of people will be kissed"
"What are we going to do?" Ron asked.
Harry stared at him. "Oh I don't know maybe get some ice cream and check out the newest broom model. What do you think we're going to do?" Harry asked him. "Now I taught you how to cast a Patronus, but not all of you mastered it. Plus none of you have ever tried to cast it while a Dementor is there so I don't know how you will perform"
"We are going to Diagon Alley and getting ready. They will be coming from Knockturn Alley so we are going to set some traps" Harry explained.
"Traps?" Neville asked.
"Booby traps. A hidden.." Harry tried to explain. "It's a muggle thing." he picked up one of the t-shirts he still had from the Dursleys. "Portus" he said. The shirt glowed blue. "Ginny and Luna, I want you guys to get the Ministry and the Order. Tell them about the attack 20 minutes after we leave. That should give us enough time to set up some traps and get into position"
"But I wanna fight too!" Ginny said.
"Sorry Ginny. If you guys want, you can come when you tell them alright?" They both nodded their heads. Everyone pulled on the dueling robes they were given. The symbol of the Order was on the back. They all pulled the hoods up, so their faces were hidden. "Activio" Harry muttered. 23 out of 25 of the members of the Order of Lightning disappeared from the room, only to appear seconds later in the middle of Gringotts.
"Alright, everyone spread out and help the owner of the shops get their supplies packed up and ready for transport at a minutes notice. I'll set up the traps by Knockturn Alley. Make sure someone goes to the Leaky Cauldron." Harry told his Order. They all ran out of Gringotts following his commend. Harry turned to the Goblins. "An attack will happen in the Alley. Will you fight for Gringotts?"
"Yes" they replied. The people in the bank were looking at him with wide eyes.
"Well get the hell out of here unless you're feeling brave" Harry yelled. Everyone scrambled to the fireplaces along the far wall. "Wankers" Harry muttered. He stepped out of the white building and into the streets. "Sonorous" Harry said as he pointed his wand at his throat. "Will everyone with children please evacuate the Alley" Harry yelled.
"And who the hell are you?" someone shouted.
"I'm the bloody boy who lived!" Harry yelled.
"It is! It's Harry Potter!" People started to rush towards him, asking for autographs.
"You people don't understand! Voldemort is attacking the Alley soon!" Harry yelled. His voice was drowned out by the crowd of people. Becoming frustrated, Harry let out a heavy breath. A small gust of wind pushed the people a few feet away from Harry. Everyone became quiet and looked at their savior. "Voldemort is going to be attacking the Alley. Now you people should get the hell out of here, unless you wanna stay and fight"
A loud scream of panic arose from the crowd as they frantically scrambled to the fireplaces. Many 'pops' and 'cracks' could be heard as those who knew how to Apparate and those without children Apparated out of there. Only around 20 witches and wizards stayed behind to fight. Harry directed them into a store and told them they would know when to come out.
Harry quickly ran to where the two Alleys meet. Making sure he stayed out of view from the darker alley, incase they had a scout there, Harry set to work.
He made several holes that he camouflaged up. The floor would be similar to a hologram and when someone stepped on it they would fall threw. Then the "hologram" would become solid, leaving that person trapped inside a magically sealed hole. The person wold have oxygen so they could survive. Only if someone did the Counter curse would the people be released from their underground prisons. He tied an invisible rope from one lamppost on one side of the alley to a lamppost on the other side.
Harry ran to where the Order was gathering. "Well?" Harry asked.
"The main stores like Olivanders, Flourish and Botts, and Magical Menageries have all been packed up and ready to be transported at a minutes notice. Several of the smaller shops have refused to leave though." Hermione reported.
"Alright. Everyone, for most of you this will be your first battle. If you don't think you can handle it then leave now. No one will think less of you." Everyone stayed in their spots. "Alright. Spread out and find some good cover. Don't do anything until I do something" Everyone spread out. Some going in shops, others hiding behind crates and barrels. Harry levitated himslef up and sat himself on the thick Flourish and Botts sign that hung above the door.
Movement came from the intersection of Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley. Black cloaked creatures, floated out of Knockturn Alley. They spilled into the deserted streets of Diagon Alley. They came closer to Harry's position.
"Expecto Partonum!" Harry yelled. A humongous silver stag erupted from his wand and charged at the floating black cloaked creatures. Several more yells of "Expecto Partonum" could be heard as more silver animals joined the stag.
The silver animals pushed most of the Dementors into Knockturn Alley. Several were pushed into a dead end back street by Prongs. High pitched screams filled the air as black smoke was seen coming out of the back street. Soon Prongs came cantering out, head held high. The patronus's stayed in front of the Alley entrance for a couple more seconds before fading out.
"Curious" Harry said thinking of what he heard and saw coming from the back street. However he had no time to ponder over it because a sharp pain in his scar told him that Voldemort was coming.
Voldemort was leading his Death Eaters out of the dark alley. Fortunately Harry had one of the biggest laughs of his life right then. It seemed Voldemort stepped o one of Harry's traps. He disappeared from view, confusing his Death Eaters. Harry let out a loud, joyful laugh.
The Death Eaters continued forward with several more disappearing from view. Suddenly many of them tripped on something. They fell to the ground and Harry laughed loudly again. He jumped down off of the sign and landed gracefully in a crouch.
He stood up and face the Death Eaters. He gave them a warm smile and a cheery wave. "Hello chaps. What brings you here today?" he asked.
"Avada Kedavra" one yelled. Harry stepped out of the way.
"Incarcerous" Harry said. Ropes wrapped around the Death Eater. "Respect my authority" Harry said. "Lebens saver oro" he cried out. The gold shield surrounded him just in time as many beams of light collided with it.
His shield dispersed and Harry took several steps backwards, while firing off stunners. He heard many yells, as the Death Eaters were attacked from all sides. It seemed the people in the store thought it was the perfect time to attack because they did.
Several 'pops' could be heard as the Aurors arrived. Soon more 'pops' were heard as Death Eater reinforcements arrived. Harry made a X movement with his right arm and a white x appeared in mid air. Harry pushed the center of the X with his wand and it soared forward into the Death Eaters. The ones that were unfortunately enough to be in its way were all knocked unconscious. It was a nifty spell Harry created during the holidays when he was bored.
Harry saw a group of his Order dive inside a store as their cover was blown to pieces. He saw what looked like Fred and George dragging off a bleeding order member and another quickly limping into a small alley. The Death Eaters were gaining the upper hand and they knew it.
Harry ran to where he saw an Order of Lightning member crouched behind a crate. "Run to Gringotts and call the others threw the symbol, alright?" Harry asked. The person nodded and quickly sprinted to the white building. Harry pointed his wand at his throat and muttered "Sonorous." He cleared his throat. "Anser the call!" Harry yelled. He took the charm off his throat and shook his head.
Harry stood up "Seprensortia" he said. A large, black snake slithered from his wand. "Attack only thossse in black robesss and white masssk" he hissed to it. The snake slithered to the group of Death Eaters. Harry saw his Order disappear one by one.
He looked at the wizards and witches who chose to stay. "Retreat to Gringotts" he yelled at them. They all nodded before running to the bank, carrying the fallen. He looked at the Aurors. "Hello. Get to Gringotts, it is where your allies are!" Harry yelled at them.
The one which appeared to be in the lead nodded his head before yelling "Retreat!" the Aurors all ran down the Alley, with the ones in the back firing curses over their shoulders.
A explosion could be heard from the intersection fo Diagon and Knockturn Alley. It appeared Voldemort got out of the trap. He was marching forward angrily. "Hope you like the present Potter!" he yelled. He pointed his wand at several stores and they all exploded. Rubble littered the street.
"You could of gotten me something better." Harry yelled. Voldemort turned to him. "Hello Tom" Harry called out.
"Potter" Voldemort hissed. "Take care of the others. Potter is mine" He raised his wand and made a slashing movement. Harry avoided the purple flames as it shot at him. He flicked his wrist and orange light flew at Voldemort. The Dark Lord batted the spell away with his wand. Harry made a circle in air and threw the lasso at Voldemort. It landed around his neck and Harry pulled the rope tight. However the rope turned into a giant snake that slithered towards Harry.
Red light struck the snake and it disappeared. Harry made the X motion quickly and shot it at Voldemort. Tom stepped out of the way and the X collided with the wall.
Harry, took a deep breath as he dodged the green light. Both him and Voldemort were using silent magic. Besides the most complicating and powerful spells like the Unforgivables, most spells could be cast silently but it needed a lot of concentration. It was also very draining, so Harry made sure he tested his endurance level every day.
He felt an Anti-Apparation being cast around the whole alley. Now none would be able to escape, but none would be able to come in.
Harry sent several jets of teal light. Tom conjured a shield and all of the spells were absorbed by it. A wave of blue light crashed into the shield and it disappeared. "Kugelzauberei" Harry said. The small ray of silver light streamed at Voldemort. He ducked and a small crater was blasted in the wall. Ropes shot out of Harry's wand but disappeared with a wave of the Dark Lords wand.
The green eyed wizard sent out a barrage of bight lights. Voldemort was able to dodge most of them, the ones he couldn't were blocked by shields.
Several yells could be heard coming from Gringotts. It seemed the Death Eaters had managed to break in but the Order of the Phoenix arrived by the Leaky Cauldron. It seemed they didn't notice the duel between the boy-who-lived and the Dark Lord.
Feeling himself getting tired Harry started to say the incantations. "Diffindo, Furnunculus, Immobulus, Incarcerous, Stupefy, Bussato Fuori, Volare Indietro, Potente Multiplo Stupefy, Sono, Dor Braccio, Stupefy, Expelliarmus !" Harry shouted spell after spell.
He stepped to the right as a green light flashed where he just was. He conjured a table, that intercepted the other green light. He ducked the black lasso as it flew over his head and erected the Golden Potter Shield in time. A series of Brown, green and black lights slammed into it forcing it to disperse.
Harry started firing off stunners while doing a no handed cartwheel.(he is so acrobatic! Kind of like a matrix seen) He landed clumsily on his feet and stumbled sideways.
"Harry!" he heard a voice shout. He saw Dumbledore come running at him from the corner of his eye.
"Stay out of this Dumbledore. This is between me and Voldemort" Harry banished a barrel into the path of a ray of green light. Newt eyes rolled fell to the ground as the barrel exploded. Harry said "Kugelzauberei" Voldemort threw a shield up. Knowing he would do this Harry waved his left hand and the shield started to fill with water.
The shield vanished. "Electrify" Harry said quickly, before it all washed away. Voldemort howled in pain as he was electrocuted.
The next thing Harry knew he was blown backwards into a wall. He felt several bones crack as he fell to the ground. Harry rolled to his left in order to avoid the green light. He quickly and clumsily got to his feet. He stumbled over to Dumbledore, conjuring items and shields to block the spells flying at him.
"I think the battle is lost Dumbledore" Harry coughed, spitting up blood. "We should retreat." Dumbledore nodded and helped Harry to Gringotts, as quickly as possible. When they reached it they saw the entrance was crowded with Death Eaters.
Harry made the X in the air and propelled it forward. Many Death Eaters fell to it. Especially since none knew how to defend against it. Harry withdrew his second wand. He jogged threw the split in the Death Eaters, sending of stunners with both his wands. When he reached the other side he searched out the goblins. "We won't win his battle. Is there anyway for us to escape threw the tunnels in Gringotts?" Harry asked.
"Yes there are several vaults that have opening somewhere else." A goblin explained.
"Like the Potter vault?" Harry asked.
"Yes the Potter Vault has another opening at Potter Manor. Since the tunnels are so confusing to navigate threw without a cart or goblin we don't have to worry about intruders from there."
"Good. Is there anyway we can seal the tunnels?" Harry asked.
"Yes. There is special magic around them that will allow the entrance to the tunnel to be sealed"
"Good. Start moving the wounded and dead into the carts and bring them to the Potter Vault"
"Only a Potter can open the vault" the goblin explained.
"How big is the platform outside of it?" Harry asked.
"Not to big sir."
"Alright. Load the cart with the wounded, I'll be there in a moment."
"Dumbledore" Harry called. He saw Dumbledore dueling with a Death Eater. "We are going to be retreating to the Potter Manor from the Potter vault down below" Dumbledore nodded.
Harry heard many screams as Voldemort entered the building. Harry hoped in the cart. He saw at least 30 carts there, holding at least 8 people. 10 of them were fully packed with wounded Aurors, both Order members and those who chose to stay behind. Harry stumbled into the lead one and the ten carts took off. It seemed like an hour before they finally reached the vault but in reality it was only 5. The number 6 was above the door. Harry went over to the door and touched it. It opened under his touch, and the wounded were lead inside. Harry raced back to one of the carts. All 10 carts started upwards again. They took another track upwards, so as not to collide with the other carts.
When Harry reached the top he immediately jumped out and shuffled to the door. All the other carts were gone and mostly goblins and Aurors were on the platform. Harry opened the door and saw Dumbledore dueling with Voldemort. The Order of Phoenix members were holding the Death Eaters off that were trying to come in and his Order members, there hoods still up, were fighting the ones that were already inside. "Dumbledore bring them back!" Harry yelled.
"Order of Phoenix retreat!" the Order members backed up slowly, making sure to pick up their fallen comrades. Harry raced in front of them and cast the Golden Potter Shield Spell, giving them some protection as they ran. When the shield vanished Harry yelled "Reducto! Reducto!" the spells hit the marble above the doorway. Chunks of Marble fell to the ground, as Death Eaters scrambled to get out of the way. Most jumped backwards, some dived forwards and a few got crushed.
Harry sent out several "Potente Multiplo Stupefy" into the mass of black robes by the entrance. He walked back to where his order was. "Retreat to the room. Once everyone is inside they are sealing the door!" Harry told them. They all quickly scrambled into the door which stood several feet behind them. Dumbledore cast the Blinding Light Charm because many Death Eaters were rubbing their eyes and Voldemort was blinking repeatedly from within his shield.
The two powerful light wizards both raced as fast as they could(which wasn't very fast considering one was really old and the other head some broken bones) and shut the door behind them.
The goblins started chanted. Several loud bangs could be heard coming from the other side of the door. Soon a deafening squelching noise could be heard as the door glowed black. The glow soon died out.
"Good" Dumledore said "Now I want several Aurors and if you could spare it Goblins on watch at this door every minute. We will help build another Gringotts somewhere else. We just need another entrance to the tunnels" Dumbledore explained.
Several Aurors volunteered to stay behind and several goblins were ordered to. Everyone else hopped into the 30 carts, since the other 20 had arrived earlier. Everyone hoped into a cart and they were on their way to the Potter Family Vault.
They reached the platform and piled out of the carts. Harry raced threw and quickly seeked out his wounded members. He rest of the order of Lightning who could walk followed. They all still had their hoods up and a group of healers were around them.
"They won't let us get close enough to help them!" one cried out in exasperation.
"Do not worry I will take them somewhere and heal them myself." Harry and those standing approached the wounded ones.
"Harry we need to get two of us medical attention quickly. Get us to a private room now!" one of them snapped.
Harry conjured stretchers and the wounded were levitated onto them. Walking quickly they reached an empty room. Locking the door and casting a privacy charm, the members pulled off their cloaks. Harry waved his wand and several comfy mattresses appeared. He placed the wounded and critically injured down on these mattresses. Then he conjured some cots for the rest of them.
Oliver, Katie, Cassandra, Ernie, Parvarti and Anthony were all wounded. Hannah and Fred were in critical condition. Harry snapped his fingers and a house elf appeared. "I want some Blood Replenishing Potion, Sleeping Potion, Broken Bone Fixer Potion and Energy Restoration Potion" Harry told the elf. It nodded its head before setting of to fulfill her masters request.
Hermione and Ginny, the two best at healing, went to work on Fred and Hannah. Harry walked over and started helping Padma with the others. The others weren't that good at healing. Harry could do some of the advanced stuff, the same with Padma. Ginny, Hannah and Hermione learned the stuff, easily enough. The others only knew the basics of this form of magic.
When they finished on the wounded, Harry tended to himself. He drank the Broken Bone Fixer Potion and winced as the potion flooded his insides.
"What about the shops?" Harry asked.
"Most of the shop owners got their supplies and merchandise out of their. Several, who didn't listen to us, were not ale to get their stock but the owners got out safely enough. The two most important things are out" (Wands and books)
"Alright. Ron, Blaise and Dean you guys are coming with me tonight. We are going back to Diagon Alley. Under the cover of darkness, with some help from the Disillusion Charm, we will sneak in, release those form my traps and take any other prisoners we can." The three nodded their heads. "Try to get some rest" He picked those threes because they were the best at stealth. Harry lay downed on a cot. He closed his eyes and after a while drifted off into the land of dreams.
He awoke with a start. Ron was standing over him. "It's 10 o'clock at night Harry" he said. Harry nodded his head and got up. He still felt a twinge of pain in his ribs and back but he would live.
"How are Hannah and Fred?" he asked.
"Both doing fine" Ron assured him.
Harry smiled at Ron before casting the Disillusion Charm on him. He did the same for Dean and Blaise. Then Ron casted it on him.
"You ready?" he asked. He picked shrunk a trunk Hermione picked up in the trunk store while telling them about the attack. It had three nice big compartments. Big enough for a bunch of unconscious men. He silently opened the door after getting a nod from them. They quickly but silently made there way out of the manor and onto the grounds. They opened the gate and made their way outside and each took hold of the portkey.
They felt the familiar tug around their naval, and stumbled as they landed back on solid ground. They slowly made their way to the Leaky Cauldron. Harry saw several Death Eaters inside. He looked at Ron.
"Rook, transform and sneak in. Try to take them out quietly" Ron nodded and hwere he was standing a chameleon was. Harry saw it scurry under the door. After waiting several minutes the door opened and Ron was there. Harry saw the Death Eaters piled in a corner. He pulled out the shrunken trunk and restored it to it's normal size. Harry levitated them all into one of the compartments. He shrunk the trunk again and placed it back in his pocket. The outside of the trunk shrunk but the inside stayed the same.
They reached the brick wall and stopped.
"You think anyone is guarding it Raven?" Blaise asked.
"No clue Freezer" Harry replied. "We'll check just in case" Harry cast an X-ray Charm on the wall. A Death Eater as sitting in front of the entrance but he appeared to be asleep. Harry took the spell off and tapped the appropriate brick. The wall opened and the Death Eater fell backwards. He was stunned before he could do anything however. Harry took out the trunk, unshrunk it, tossed the guy in, shrunk the trunk again and placed it in his pocket. They walked down the street making sure to stay out of the Death Eaters ways. Many of the stores were destroyed. Rubble and glass lay everywhere. The roof of Olivanders was on the ground. Harry reached the intersection where the traps were.
He cast the counter curse on where he thought one was. It opened up and they all sent stunners inside. They levitate the man out and into the 2nd compartment of the trunk. They quickly did the counter curse on the rest of the traps and moved the Death Eaters into the 2nd compartment. They shrunk the trunk back up and placed it in Harry's pocket.
"Let's go see if they have any prisoners from the battle." Harry told them. They tip toed over to the bank. Since their was little light they barely saw the four guards standing in font of the dors. It appeared they removed the rubble from Harry's Reducter Curses.
Harry snuck to the side, he quickly grabbed the guard, who was standing by himself a good six feet from the others, from behind. His left hand was clamped over the guys mouth as his right hand held his wand to his head. Harry lead the guy farther into the shadows. "Peelsotog" he whispered. The man went limp in his arms and he carried him over to the others. He plopped the guy in the trunk. Him, Ron and Dean each went over and grabbed the other guards. Whispering the Sleeping Charm they also dropped the three guys into the trunk.
They walked into the bank and looked around. Several wizards were sitting in a group as Death Eaters had their wands pointed at them. "The prisoners!" Dean muttered.
"We can see that Knight" Blaise muttered back. "How are we going to rescue them Raven?" she asked.
"I'll conjure some distractions. You guys go over and get them into the trunk. If any refuse to cooperate, then stun them" Harry said. He quickly found pieces of rubble and Transfigured them into monkeys. They started to run around causing chaos. All Death Eater attention was focused on the monkeys now. Noone noticed the trunk appear out of thin air. Noone noticed their prisoners climbing into the trunk.
That is until a Death Eater looked over his shoulder. "The prisoners are escaping!" he yelled.
Harry cursed his luck and quickly cast a silencing charm over the entire room and hoped noone outside heard that.
He sent several stunners at the Death Eaters. A jet of water hit him and someone cried out. "Look there he is! Covered in water!" Harry cursed his luck again.
The prisoners were all packed inside because the trunk and noone was no longer visible. Harry dried himself off with a wave of his wand and raced out of the bank. "Rook, Freezer, Knight let's go!" he yelled. He dodged a group of Death Eaters who were running to the bank. He raced to the brick wall. It opened up and several Death Eaters were looking at it suspiciously from the small alleyway.
"Stupefy! Stupefy! Stupefy! Stupefy! Stupefy!" Harry said in quick succession. The five Death Eaters fell to the ground unconscious.
"Nice work Raven" he heard Ron mutter from behind him.
"Rook, are Knight and Freezer there?" he asked.
"Yeah, we're here Raven" Blaise answered.
"Alright let us leave then" Harry commanded. He looked to his left and saw Ron standing there. "It appears the Disillusion Charm has worn off." Harry told them.
The others looked around and saw that Harry was right and the charm was no longer working.
"Then speed this up" Freezer snapped. They slowly opened the door and entered the pub. No Death Eaters were in it so they sprinted across the pub to the door that led to Muggle London.
Harry pulled the door open and shut it immediately. They marched back to the alley they arrived in. He pulled out the portkey from earlier and muttered "Portus" They grabbed hold of it and were pulled away from the alley to the front gates of Potter Manor.
Harry pushed them open and marched up to the mansion. He opened the door that led to the basement, where the dueling chambers and the potions lab was. He walked to a concealed door and opened it up. Harry and the three others walked down the flight of stairs. They were in the dungeon. There were 30, 8 feet by 8 feet cells, 15 on each side of the room. In every cell there was a soft, lumpy mattress on one side and a small makeshift toilet in the corner. The walls and doors of the cell permitted magic to enter the cell but not to leave it.
Ron pulled out the trunk, "Engorgio" he said. The trunk grew to its regular size.
Harry opened the first compartment. Nine unconscious Death Eaters laid at the bottom of it. They levitated them out and placed them in separate cells. Harry opened the second compartment and found twelve Death Eaters and several of the rescued prisoners. They helped the prisoners out and told them to wait there. Then Harry levitated the twelve Death Eaters into separate cells. He collected all the Death Eaters wands and placed them in his pocket.
He picked up the trunk and told everyone in the room, Order members and rescued prisoners to follow him. He led them out of the dungeons, past the basement and up to the main floor. He walked up to the map of the house by the entrance hall. He taped the map and said "Reveal" Many dots appeared on the map, labeled by name.
It was a cool feature he found out about the map from his aunt. There were 10 maps throughout the house and all did the same thing. This is where his father got the idea for the Marauder's Map.
He searched for the name of any high ranking Order of the Phoenix members. It seemed all the professors went back to school. His Order members were still sleeping in his room. Healers and the wounded were still in the diningroom. It appeared the Aurors went back to the ministry and some of the civilians who stayed behind went home.
He found Remus Lupin and Sirius Black in the study. He tapped the map and said "Everything Revealed" Harry walked to the study, with the others following him. He pushed open the door, and the two Marauders looked up in surprise.
"Get Dumbledore and Mr. Weasly here" Harry said. "I know you know how to. I figured out that most Order members have a way to contact each other."
Sirius pulled small mirror. "Albus Dumbledore" he said. Seconds later Dumbledore's face appeared in the mirror. "Harry wants you to come to the manor. We are in the study"
"This better be quick. I still have to go over the casualties and prisoners of this battle" Dumbledore explained.
Dumbledore's face disappeared. "Arthur Weasly" Mr. Weasly's face appeared in the mirror.
"Arthur if you could come to the Potter Manor. Harry needs to speak with you" Sirius said.
"Alright Sirius. I can get a couple of minutes free. So we gotta make this quick" Arthur sighed.
"Alright" Sirius put the mirror back in his pocket.
He looked curiously at Ron, Dean and Blaise who all had there hoods up still. Remus was observing the seven people who were standing off to the side.
After a minute or two Dumbledore and Mr. Weasly both stepped into the room.
"Alright Harry, what do you need to talk to us about" Dumbledore asked.
Harry opened the trunk and helped the 19 people inside out. He was surprised to see him helping Tonks out of there, along with Charlie Weasly.
"I got you the prisoners" Harry stated.
"How?" Sirius asked shocked.
"Well me and my companions" Here Harry motioned to Ron, Blaise and Dean. "Snuck into the alley. We were able to get the prisoners into here and get out of there before much happened" Harry said.
"This is amazing!" Mr. Weasly exclaimed. "Now we don't have to worry about sending in a team to retrieve them!" He ran over to Charlie and pulled him into a hug. "So glad your safe son. Your mom was near hysterics"

They moved all the stores to Hogsmeade. Diagon Alley and the Leaky Cauldron were lost to the Light Side. They managed to make a tunnel that lead to the tunnels under London, ten feet into the Forbidden Forest. It took ten minutes just to get to the tunnels but it was good enough.
Several more families who lived in Diagon Alley, moved to Potter Manor. The rest built homes in Hogsmeade.
3 Aurors, 6 civilians who stayed and fought and 13 goblins died during the battle. 29 civilians who were in the wrong place at the wrong time die. One Order of the Phoenix member lost his arm from the elbow down. A civilian lost his right thumb and pointer finger.
Now there was a militia. It was started by a woman who fought in the Diagon Alley battle. Many witches and wizards flocked to it. They were trained once a week by a group of Aurors. Against the Death Eaters they wouldn't last unless they had help or luck but they were steadily improving.
Harry laid there in bed. His bruises still ached from the Battle of Hogwarts. Katie's back was pressed up against his side. He could hear her soft steady breath against the silent night air.(Remember Harry is remembering this after him and Katie have sex after the Battle of Hogwarts)
He kissed the top of her head and remembered the months after the attack on Diagon Alley. Including when him and Ginny went out. He couldn't believe Ginny was sill mad at him. In fact she shouldn't be mad at all, he was the one who should still be pissed.
I read Harry Potter: the Future Remapped and I loved the battle seen. That is where I got the water in the shield and then electrocute thing from.
I hope you Ginny lovers won't get mad at me for what I have in plan for her. For me it doesn't really matter what people do with Ginny. I like a good Harry/Ginny fic as much as the next person but I also don't care if people make her out to be bad. Just so you know this is not going to be a Harry/Ginny story. This is a Harry/many girls story but when I end this I have several choices of who Harry is going to end up with.
